I am changing the head gasket and maybe the head tommorow on the NA2. Is it better to use the AU gasket or stick with the original one? Will it fit striaght on with the same tourque settings? Thanks for any help!

most will recommend the AU headgasket.
the torque settings are slightly different. AU is 30nm + 120 degrees the older gaskets are 40nm + 90 degrees.

Go the AU for sure.....but remember your compression will be slightly higher...so might need to run premium ULP to run 100%

i'd imagine an AU gasket on an EA (8.8:1 compression stock) wouldn't exactly give it a need for premium.
also nothing some timing adjustments can't fix.
